Wikitrust already provider a Selection API, which returns a list of the top
ranked revisions of an article if you are trying to pick a single revision
to show to users. This API is useful for the problem of creating an offline
version of Wikipedia (such as book or DVD formats), where the preference is
for a recent revision, but the restriction is that you can choose only one
revision and it must not have vandalism.

Using the API is very simple: if you wish to know the best revisions to
select for page 1234, you call:
